Health coaching training package and written materials.

120-min Health Coaching Training Package Components	Purpose
Powerpoint presentation	Describe the theoretical underpinnings of the health coaching approach [22,26,35]. Provide an explanation of specific health coaching skills including empathy, active listening, Teach Back, setting S.M.A.R.T goals, and assessment of participant Readiness, Importance, Confidence, and knowledge (R.I.C.k.) [24,25,27] that podiatrists were to use to work with participants during the health coaching intervention. Explain to podiatrists how to work with participants to work through a process of self-discovery [22,26,27] in relation to participant understanding of peripheral neuropathy and how it impacts on their own foot health.
Video recording of a mock structured health coaching appointment	Demonstration of how to apply individual health coaching elements to conduct a health coaching appointment in order to work with participants to identify foot health monitoring goals, and to assess and improve participants’ readiness, importance, confidence and knowledge in setting and achieving their goals, thereby maximising participant motivation, self-efficacy, and self-determination.
Mock health coaching appointment	Podiatrists were asked to demonstrate the health coaching skills learnt from the package to trainers in a role-playing mock appointment where they issued the SurroSense Rx* insole in order to reinforce health coaching skills. Feedback was provided to the podiatrists by the study health coach.
